Eagerly Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 All, Thought i would post a little thread here. I have been looking at what suit to get all day and also phoning around lots of places to try and get the best fit suit. I live quite close to Brands hatch and as such there are quite a few places that make these suits. I called one today and he advised he could custom make me one. No pockets and all the extra bits added. If all works out i was wondering if i could somehow point him in this direction and let him make some for others Does this sound like a plan ?

No pockets, No lapels, No patches. All black cuffed feet and arms, front black Zip and Manderin collar.

TB-8719 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Excellent! looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagerly Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks Berry, Just to add the place I got it from, advised this was a stock size, but they can make custom fit if needs be I also know I have to add the Suede, i hope to do this over the next few days. Should I do the suede in 1 piece or two so there is a join down the inside seam ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 That is a great fitting undersuit...looks awesome! Typically, the suede is 2 parts, front and back w/the 2" elastic underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagerly Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks Jim, Appreciate the picture. I am a tad nervous about the suede. lol. Hope i get it right. I am also expecting my armour, boots, helmet, vest and cumber bound tomorrow. All that is left is to put it together and get my Gun from Rhett. Then its time to submit some pics for clearance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Great job on your kit, well done. Only minor fix would be to reduce the lengths of the drop box straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Great job on your build and on the pics. One comment: it does look like your TD greeble is upside down. You might consider flipping it. Griffin, I think the jury is still out on this one. I've posted a number of screen grabs that appear to show the greeblie in either orientation. Check out this post. #36 They are not very clear, and there are arguments for either. The way that Lee has it currently, is consistent with the BluRay walk around (once you've flipped it to being the right way up). I'm not sure anything has been officially decided yet. And in the words of our glorious leader. At this point untill the greeble is nailed orientation wise I'd say both is fine, but once we know which way the majority had them that will be the only way allowed.

Eagerly Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well, i've not changed it yet. So will leave as is. Until it is decided in a court of law Man I only submitted my pics on Sunday and it already feels like ages lol. approx 19 days and counting until I potentially find out. Not that I am counter, eager, impatient or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
